Will any other round with similar action size push a 410 grn VLD at 3200 out of a 32" barrel ? I cant think of one myself ?

Problem lies within the speed!!! It needs to be understood that speed is NOT king trait in regards to this sort of situation. That speed is nothing if the projectile is not designed specifically for that speed. If that speed is achieved and the bullet is not optimized for it then that kind of speed will cause the bullet to slow down WAY WAY faster than people realize.
Also you mention the 416N has "almost" ballistics as the 416B right? Which means it is still behind the ballistics curve of the 375/408 so why go to more powder and 3" longer barrel to still be behind??

Very good observation Steve--thats why at one time there was 408 cases that had the primer pockets opened to house the BMG primers but that went away

Later,
Very good points you make !
I quess I was interested to see how the wound channel on game would be effected stepping into a 40 cal over the 375 / 350 smk load ? I am not really interested in buying a gun to plink targets at 2500, just after a rifle that has significant improvement and potential to put a vastly increased amount of hurt on big deer out to 1500. I have seen what the bmg will do and quess I was looking at the in between 338 cal to the bmg. The 50 puts big holes in things.
How much more damage is the 375/408 going to do over a well placed 300 smk ?
You guys have far more knowledge than me in these extreme performance cals, so very interested in your thoughts .
i guess their are some guys that want to longest shooting round available and that is not my top priority. I am looking for a 20 lb's ish gun that I can move that will put the most amount of damage on a 600 lb deer out to 1500 yards possible.
Whats your best guess ?
Cheers boys
